she didn't really take it on the chin, that was more complaining that she wasn't ready for the punch

1. Lit. to stand up to something adverse, such as criticism. (Fig. on taking a direct punch to the head in boxing.) They laid some blunt criticism on him, but he took it on the chin. I knew he could take it on the nose. 2. Fig. to receive the full brunt of something. Why do I have to take it on the chin for something I didn't do? If you did it, you have to learn to take it on the chin.

So could it be said that aside from the obsequious mugging, she took it on the chin during that interview?

Maybe he thought he was enabling if he didn't address it, or maybe she was a pain before shooting.

maybe. i just think, as a general rule, i'm not a fan of his smug, sarcastic kind of humor. i watched an old interview he did with harmony korine recently and something about letterman's wry attitude toward korine's eccentricity rubbed me the wrong way, idk. also i, for what ever reason, pretty much always find myself rooting for lindsay lohan.

I think Lohan has more natural acting talent than Monroe did, but, like Monroe, her weakness is her inability to fake it. She feels she must be experiencing an emotion in order to play it. This leads to all sorts of emotional turmoil, not to mention on-set delays and melodrama. It also leads, when the gods smile, to movie magic. Monroe had the same affliction. They live large, both in life and on screen. This is an essential part of what draws viewers to them.Lohan has outgrown her adolescent roles. All those cute all-American girls with the all-American names (Hallie Parker, Annie James, Anna Coleman, Cady Heron, Maggie Peyton), they’re gone. And in their place is another all-American type, the tough-talking, cigarette-smoking, streetwise girl, the blowsy blonde—Gena Rowlands, Ann-Margret, Shelley Winters, Angie Dickinson. Yet shining from within remains the little girl from the Disney films—a sweetness that makes the hard shell vibrate. Just like Marilyn.

I don't like how he seems to be saying Monroe wasn't serious about the craft of acting and instead "playacted" at it. Brando said Monroe was a committed and serious actress and that's good enough for me.

"To be taken seriously one had to appear serious: study your craft, be mentored, read literature, respect your creative elders, marry a playwright, get the support of an established theater group or studio. To receive the system’s rewards—fame, money—you playacted by the system’s rules. And Monroe did."

paul schrader directs! lindsay lohan stars! is hardly an appealing proposition, like you are suffering a lot just to test the guy's thesis.
this shows a p blunt misunderstanding of monroe's appeal, too. she is a lightbulb on screen, with terrific timing & presence; not sure if PS rests his claim on anything other than his movie but LL would have to be doing a lot to in some way exceed or equal monroe on screen
― szarkasm (schlump), Thursday, 11 July 2013 22:53 (twelve years ago)
comparing LL to old school starlets, especially monroe, has been her m.o. for the last few years, schrader is just playing along. the sad thing is it just emphasizes how prematurely aged she is

This doesn't read to me as some indictment--it's an argument that abiding by the rules of the establishment, whether one believes in them or not, *is* the road to being taken seriously. He's not saying Marilyn was an unserious fake, he's saying she played the game one needed to play to be taken seriously.
